received praises from our King Leoric himself - may his soul rest in peace.
Griswold is also a great hero; just ask Cain.
02. Cain has been the storyteller of Tristram for as long as I can remember. He knows so much, and can tell you just about anything about almost everything.
03. Pepin saved my grandmother's life, and I know that I can never repay him for that. His ability to heal any sickness is more powerful than the mightiest sword and more mysterious than any spell you can name. If you ever are in need of healing, Pepin can help you.
04. The woman at the edge of town is a witch! She seems nice enough, and her name, Adria, is very pleasing to the ear, but I am very afraid of her. It would take someone quite brave,like you, to see what she is doing out there.
05. Odgen and his wife have taken me and my grandmother into their home and have even let me earn a few gold pieces by working at the inn. I owe so much to them, and hope one day to leave this place and help them start a grand hotel in the east.
06.
07. I grew up with Wirt's mother, Canace. Although she was only slightly hurt when those hideous creatures stole him, she never recovered. I think she died of a broken heart. Wirt has become a mean-spirited youngster, looking only to profit from the sweat of others. I know that he suffered and has seen horrors that I cannot even imagine,but some of that darkness hangs over him still.
08. My grandmother had a dream that you would come and talk to me. She has visions, you know and can see into the future.
FARNHAM THE DRUNK
01. Griswold? Good old Griswold. I love him like a brother! We fought together, you know, back when... we... Lazarus... Lazarus... Lazarus!!!
02.
03. Hehehe, I like Pepin. He really tries, you know. Listen here, you should make sure you get to know him. Good fella like that with people always wantin' help. Hey, I guess that would be kinda like you, huh hero? I was a hero too...
04. Why don't that old crone do somethin' for a change. Sure, sure, she's got stuff, but you listen to me... she's unnatural. I ain't never seen her eat or drink - and you can't trust somebody who desn't drink at least a little.
05. Odgen is the best man in town. I don't think his wife likes me much, but as long as she keeps tappin' kegs, I'll like her just fine. Seems like
I been spendin' more time with Odgen than most, but he's so good to me...
06. The gal who brings the drinks? Oh, yeah, what a pretty lady. So nice, too.
07. Wirt is a kid with more problems than even me, and I know all about problems. Listen here - that kid is gotta sweet deal, but he's been there, you know? Lost a leg! Gotta walk around on a piece of wood. So sad, so sad...
08. No one ever lis... listens to me. Somewhere - I ain't too sure - but somewhere under the church is a shole pile o' gold. Gleamin' and shinin' and just waitin' for someone to get it.
09. I wanna tell ya sumthin', 'cause I know all about this stuff. It's my specialty. This here is the best... Theeeee best! That other ale ain't no good since those stupid dogs...
10. If I was you... and I ain't... but if I was, I'd sell all that stuff you got and get out of here. That boy out there... he's always got somethin good, but you gotta give him some gold or he won't even show you what he's got.
WIRT THE PEG-LEGGED BOY
01. I guess I owe the blacksmith my life - what there is of it. Sure,
Griswold offered me an apprenticeship at the smithy, and he is a nice enough guy, but I'll never get enough money to... well, let's just say that I have definite plans that require a large amount of gold.
02. Cain knows too much. He scares the life out of me - even more than that woman across the river. He keeps telling me about how lucky I am to be alive, and how my story is foretold in legend. I think he's off his crock.
03. As long as you don't need anything reattached, old Pepin is as good as they come.If I'd have had some of those potions he brews, I might still have my leg...
04. Adria truly bothers me. Sure, Cain is creepy in what he can tell you about the past, but that witch can see into your past. She always has some way to get whatever she needs, too. Adria gets her hands on more morchandise than
I've seen pass through the gates of the king's bazaar during high festival.
05. Odgen is a fool for staying here. I could get him out of town for a very reasonable price, but he insists on trying to make a go of it with that stupid tavern. I guess at least he gives Gillian a place to work, and his wife Garda does make a superb shepherd's pie...
06. If I were a few years older, I would shower her with whatever riches
I could muster, and let me assure you I can get my hands on some very nice stuff. Gillian is a beautiful girl who should get out of Tristram as soon as it is safe. Hmmm... maybe I'll take her with me when I go...
07. Don't trust everything the drunk says. Too many ales have fogged his vision and his good sense.
08. In case you haven't noticed, I don't buy anything from Tristram. I am an importer of quality goods. If you want to peddle junk, you'll have to see Griswold, Pepin or that witch, Adria. I'm sure that they will snap up whatever you can bring them...

================================================================================
THE BUTCHER
Griswold : I saw what Farnham calls the Butcher as it swathed a path through the bodies of my friends. He swung a cleaver as large as an axe, hewing limbs and cutting down brave men where they stood. I was separated from the fray by a host of small screeching demons and somehow found the stairway leading out. I never saw that hideous beast again, but his blood-stained visage haunts me to this day.
Cain : It seems that the Archbishop Lazarus goaded many of the townsmen into venturing into the labyrinth to find the king's missing son. He played upon their fears and whipped them into a frenzied mob. None of them were prepared for what lay within the cold earth... Lazarus abandoned them down there - left in the clutches of unspeakable horrors - to die.
Pepin : By the light, I know of this vile demon. There were many that bore the scars of his wrath upon their bodies when the few survivors of the charge led by Lazarus crawled from the cathedral. I don't know what he used to slice open his victims, but it could not have been of this world. It left wounds festering with disease and even I found them almost impossible to treat. Beware if you plan to battle this fiend...
Adria : The Butcher is a sadistic creature that delights in the torture and pain of others. You have seen his handiwork in the drunkard Farnham.
His destruction will do much to ensure the safety of this village.
Odgen : Yes, Farnham has mumbled something about a hulking brute who wielded a fierce weapon. I believe he called him a butcher.
Gillian : When Farnham said something about a Butcher killing people, I immediately discounted it. But since you brought it up, maybe it is true.
Farnham : Big! Big cleaver killing all my friends. Couldn't stop him, had to run away, couldn't save them. Trapped in a room with so many bodies... so many friends... noooooooooo!
Wirt : I know more than you'd think about that grisly fiend. His little friends got a hold of me and managed to get my leg before Griswold pulled me out of that hole. I'll put it bluntly - kill him before he kills you and adds your corpse to his collection.
POISONED WATER SUPPLY
Griswold : Pepin has told you the truth. We will need fresh water badly, and soon. I have tried to clear one of the smaller wells, but it reeks of stagnant filth. It must be getting clogged at the source.
Cain : Hmm, I don't know what I can really tell you about this that will be of any help. The water that fills our wells comes from an underground spring. I have heard of a tunnel that leads to a great lake - perhaps they are one and the same. Unfortunately, I do not know what would cause our water supply to be tainted.
Pepin : Please, you must hurry. Every hour that passes brings us closer to having no water to drink. We cannot survive for long without your help.
Adria : The people of Tristram will die if you cannot restore fresh water to their wells. Know this - demons are at the heart of this matter, but they remain ignorant of what they have spawned.
Odgen : I have always tried to keep a large supply of foodstuffs and drink in our storage cellar, but with the entire town having no source of fresh water, even our stores will soon run dry. Please, do what you can or I don't know what we will do.
Gillian : My grandmother is very weak, and Garda says that we cannot drink the water from the wells. Please, can you do something to help us?
Farnham : You drink water?
Wirt : For once, I'm with you. My business runs dry - so to speak - if I have no market to sell to. You better find out what is going on, and soon!
THE CURSE OF KING LEORIC
Griswold : I made many of the weapons and most of the armor that King Leoric used to outfit his knights. I even crafted a huge two-handed sword of the finest mithril for him, as well as a field crown to match. I still cannot believe how he died, but it must have been some sinister force that drove him insane!
Cain : Ahh, the story of our king, is it? The tragic fall of Leoric was a harsh blow to this land. The people always loved the king, and now they live in mortal fear of him. The question that I keep asking myself is how he could have fallen so far from the light, as Leoric had always been the holiest of men. Only the vilest powers of hell could so utterly destroy a man from within...
Pepin : The loss of his son was too much for King Leoric. I did what I could to ease his madness, but in the end it overcame him. A black curse has hung over this kingdom from that day forward, but perhaps if you were to free his spirit from his earthly prison, the curse would be lifted...
Adria : The dead who walk among the living follow the cursed king. He holds the power to raise yet more warriors for an ever growing army of the undead. If you do not stop his reign, he will surely march across this land and slay all who still live here.
Odgen : As I told you, good master, the king was entombed three levels below. He's down there, waiting in the putrid darkness for his chance to destroy this land...
Gillian : I don't like to think about how the king died. I like to remember him for the kind and just ruler that he was. His death was so sad and seemed very wrong, somehow.
Farnham : I don't care about that. Listen, no skeleton is gonna be my king.
Leoric is king. King, so you hear me? Hail to the king!
Wirt : Look, I'm running a business here. I don't sell information, and
I don't care about some king that's been dead longer than I've been alive. If you need something to use against this king of the undead, then I can help you out...
ODGEN'S SIGN
Griswold : Demons stole Odgen's sign, you say? That doesn't sound much like the atrocities I've heard of - or seen. Demons are concerned with ripping out your heart, not your signpost.
Cain : I see that this strange behaviour puzzler you as well. I would surmise that since many demons fear the light of the sun and believe that it holds great power, it may be that the rising sun depicted on the sign you speak of has led them to believe that it too holds some arcane powers. Hmm, perhaps they are not all as smart as we had feared...
Pepin : My goodness, demons running about the village at night, pillaging our homes - is nothing sacred? I hope that Odgen and Garda are all right. I suppose that they would come to see me if they were hurt...
Adria : No mortal can truly understand the mind of the demon. Never let their erratic actions confuse you, as that too may be their plan.
Odgen : Master, I have a strange experience to relate. I know that you have a great knowledge of those monstrasities that inhabit the labyrinth, and this is something that I cannot understand for the very life of me... I was awakened during the night by a scraping sound just outside of my tavern. When I looked out from my bedroom, I saw the shapes of small demon-like creatures in the inn yard. After a short time, they ran off, but not before stealing the sign to my inn. I don't know why the demons would steal my sign but leave my family in peace... 'tis strange,no?
Gillian : Oh my! Is that where the sign went? My grandmother and I must have slept right through the whole thing. Thank the light that those monsters didn't attack the inn.
Farnham : You know what I think? Somebody took that sign, and they gonna want lots of money for it. If I was Odgen... and I'm not, but if I was...
I'd just buy a new sign with some pretty drawing on it. Maybe a nice mug of ale or a piece of cheese...
Wirt : What - is he saying I took that? I suppose that Griswold is on his side,too. Look, I got over simple sign stealing month ago. You can't turn a profit on a piece of wood.

THE MAGIC ROCK
Griswold : I am still waiting for you to bring me that stone from the Heavens.
I know that I can make something powerful out of it.
Cain : Griswold speaks of the Heaven stone that was destined for the enclave located in the east. It was being taken there for further study. This stone glowed with an energy that somehow granted vision beyond that which a normal man could possess.I do not know what secrets it holds, my friend,but finding this stone would certainly prove most valuable.
Pepin : I don't know what it is that they thought they could see with that rock, but I will say this. If rocks are falling from the sky, you had better be careful!
Adria : The heaven stone is very powerful, and were it any but Griswold who bid you fint it, I would prevent it. He will harness its powers and its use will be for the good of us all.
Odgen : The caravan stopped here to take on some supplies for their journey to the east. I sold them quite an array of fresh fruits and some excellent sweetbreads that Garda has just finished baking. Shame what happened to them...
Griswold is also a great hero; just ask Cain.
